Something missing how they promote this new young singer to audience, of course like my teacher said even a bad song need to a promotion. You cant just go to Radio Station "here i give this new song play it okay". How they manage to promote such a new young singer.

EMI's like playing a Russian roulette will this new stuff big or fail in Japan , and this time yes indeed Hikki were their national treasure. There is some luck i think in this case.

And about she was 16, well all i know many singer start in young age, correct me if I'm wrong.

I think Q got it right.I actually think that was a great time in J-pop and indie Rock.Number Girl was wrecking the scene,Luminous just broke out,Shiina first single dropped,Namie was spitting awesome left and right.Goddamn I wish I could have been 17 and Japanese during 1999 >:O.
